Grismaijer and Singer have completed research on the subject, published in the American Naturopathic Medical Association (ANMA) journal. Naturopathy is a form of alternative medicine teetering on the edge of pseudoscience, often rejecting the use of modern surgery and drugs, so their claims should be taken with a grain of salt.

Well at least this quackery will only lead to better scenery and eventual back problems, and not kids dying of whooping cough.

While I have no problem dismissing that an article of clothing contributes to breast cancer, some of the things listed on the Komen site are a bit controversial. The fact that they dismissed exposure to chemicals and pesticides as a contributing factor to breast cancer, is shocking. How exactly has exposure to poison been ruled out?

...because Komen is just using breast cancer research as a money-making scheme for the one-percenters, at the expense of women?

There's your problem right there; you are going to a place like Komen to get facts. They are just here to collect your money.

women who wear bras all the time are 125 times more likely to develop breast cancer than females who never wear bras, or rarely wear them.

"125 times more likely"? Seriously? Like, take your risk of breast cancer, and multiply it by 125 if you wear a bra? If that were true, the correlation would be more obvious than smoking and lung cancer. Or did the article mean 125%? Because that's much different. Math is hard!

/poorly written article overall, and one website I won't be going back to

Based on the quality of the research, I can similarly proclaim that underwear (boxers or briefs) causes testicular cancer.There were ZERO documented cases of testicular cancer in the 1600s in Scotland when all men were wearing kilts. Now that almost all men wear underwear, it's a freaking epidemic of testicular cancer. I have found a correlation, therefore I have proven causation!
